Question about our rotors. Why is the front right one the only one that is going a different
direction? That one goes the direction my Stop Tech's went, while all of the other 3 go the other direction. I've looked at some of the pictures of other member's rotors thinking that mine was just put on wrong, but everyone's right front is going a different direction. Just curious.

I noticed that as well. I thought it might have been an oversight by the factory but I noted that..
the two at the dealer were the same. Seems odd to me. Maybe the big engineer brains have a reason for it!?
I don't have an RS4, just noted it at the dealer!

Would be tough to make them directional.
The holes would have to change directions in the middle of the disk, since the holes go all the way through and the brake caliper grips both sides.

Not uncommon...
New Corvette, MBZ, BMW, etc. Many models have only one directional rotor used on both sides. It can be argued that this could build up more heat on one side than the other, but it would only manifest in severe (track) conditions. Tought to make that happen on the street. Remember the pads on any of these vehicles OEM are not track pads. Pads need to be replaced with appropriate compounds for track days.
